Chapter 5: This Kid Can’t Think That I Saved Him, Right?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Long Yuan seemed to have also sensed that the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate was filled with killing intent.
He must escape here! Long Yuan's expression froze, and he turned his head and ran out at high speed.
How could the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate let Long Yuan escape so easily? He caught up with Long Yuan in a flash. Then, he struck out a palm toward Long Yuan's back.
Long Yuan mobilized almost all the spirit power in his body and barely dodged the attack.
The ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate's attack was not over yet.
"Heart Shattering Palm."
A huge palm print flew out and hit Long Yuan's lower abdomen.
Puff...
A mouthful of blood was spat out. At this moment, the word "despair" was written on Long Yuan's face.
"Am I, Long Yuan, going to lose my life here today?"
Long Yuan stood up with difficulty. Even if his life was in jeopardy, he still wanted to bite off a piece of his opponent's flesh.
However, an incident suddenly happened. The Dragon Sword on Long Yuan's back started to become restless.
Without receiving Long Yuan's summon, it flew into Long Yuan's hand automatically. Before Long Yuan could react, the Dragon Sword had brought him out of the cave in an instant.
The speed was so fast that even the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate could not catch up at all. He could only watch the heavily-injured Long Yuan escape from his hands.
Wang Hua and Li Wu looked at Long Yuan who had escaped. A trace of killing intent flashed in their eyes.
"Did Master just let him escape like that?" Wang Hua asked somewhat unwillingly. However, the ancestor did not have the slightest bit of worry.
With a smile on his face, he said indifferently, "He was hit by my Heart Shattering Palm. Do you think he can still survive? Even if he's lucky enough to survive, his spirit root will be shattered. From now on, he'll be a cripple. There's nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hua and Li Wu finally relaxed.
"As expected of the ancestor. In the future, the Heavenly Sword Sect will be the property of our two families." Li Wu hurriedly flattered.
The old and young trio burst out laughing.
The reason why the Heavenly Mountain Gate would cooperate with the Soul Hunting Sect was because he was promised half of the Heavenly Sword Sect. How could ordinary gifts be able to catch his eye?
...
The Dragon Sword was like an old horse that knew the way, bringing the seriously injured and dying dragon pool back to the small tavern.
Plop.
Su Yang, who was leisurely drinking in the tavern, suddenly heard a sound from outside the door. He put down the wine cup in his hand and walked out.
When he pushed the door open, he saw the blood-covered and injured Long Yuan.
Fortunately, it was already night. There was no one in the tavern and there were no pedestrians on the street.
Seeing this, Su Yang and his people helped Long Yuan in. They took him to Su Yang's bedroom and placed him on the wooden bed.
Long Yuan's consciousness was already blurry. At the last second when he closed his eyes, he saw Su Yang. At that moment, he knew that he could still survive.
Su Yang looked at the unconscious Long Yuan. For a moment, he was at a loss.
"I thought you were in a hurry to find the Heavenly Mountain Gate to help your sect? I didn't expect you to get beaten up like this." He complained helplessly.
There was still a problem waiting for him. How could a mortal like him heal the injuries of an immortal cultivator?
However, he could not just watch him die like this. Su Yang walked to a shabby wooden cabinet and started rummaging through it. After some time, he only found a bottle of medicinal wine that had been sealed for a long period.
This bottle of medicine was made for him to heal his injuries. He did not know if it would be of any use to Long Yuan's injuries.
"I can only try my best," as he spoke, Su Yang walked to the bed.
He helped Long Yuan up and opened his mouth. He forced the medicine into his mouth. After that, Su Yang left the room.
"Life and death depend on fate. Wealth and honor depend on the heavens. Whether you can live or not depends on your life."
Su Yang looked at Long Yuan who was lying on the bed. Then, he let out a deep sigh, and left the place.
...
Heavenly Sword Sect. In a dark cave.
There was only a candle burning, illuminating the space.
Jiu Jian, who was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Disciple." Jiu Jian was in a panic. He had just been in seclusion, and he instantly felt a pang of heartache. It was as though something bad was about to happen.
He faintly felt that something dangerous seemed to have happened to his disciple. He saw the old ancestor looking at the top of his head.
"Could it be that... the heavens... are going to annihilate our Heavenly Sword Sect? Disciple, you must return safely."
The night silently passed by.
The next morning.
Long Yuan, who was lying on the bed, was awoken by the sunlight. He slowly opened his eyes and sat up.
He looked at his body from top to bottom. Both of his hands were touching every part of his body.
"I'm fine now? I remember that I was hit in the lower abdomen by the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate. I felt that my spirit root was about to be shattered. Fortunately, my spirit root is now an earth spirit root. Otherwise, I'd be a cripple.
"But... Why do I feel that I don't have any injuries at all? Instead, I feel that my body is full of strength."
Countless questions filled Long Yuan's heart. When he checked his cultivation, he was shocked. After he was beaten up, his cultivation had reached the sixth level of the golden core stage?
Long Yuan tried hard to recall the incident that happened yesterday. Suddenly, he remembered. On the way back, he had returned to the senior's tavern.
When he lost consciousness, he seemed to have also seen the senior's figure. It was not until then that Long Yuan realized why he was not injured at all.
"It must be senior who saved me. I've already received senior's favor three times. With such great kindness, how can I repay senior?"
Long Yuan got off the bed. He did not feel any discomfort at all. On the contrary, he felt very relaxed. He planned to find senior to personally thank him.
Then, he would return to his sect as soon as possible. He would report to his master about the scheme of the Heavenly Mountain Gate and the Soul Hunting Sect.
At this moment, the door was opened. Su Yang slowly walked in. When he saw the lively Long Yuan, his eyes were filled with shock.
"Is this an immortal cultivator? After suffering such serious injuries, he's fine after a good sleep."
Long Yuan saw Su Yang. Once again, he knelt gratefully and said respectfully, "Thank you for saving my life, senior. This junior has nothing to repay you for. If senior has any use for me, let me know."
Seeing this, Su Yang was somewhat dazed. He thought to himself, 'He can't possibly think that I'm the one who gave him his life, right?'
